Psalms 45:12
The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; men of wealth will seek your favor.
BSB
ASV
And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.
KJV
And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift. When the church abounds in holiness, she shall know no lack of homage from the surrounding people. Her glory shall then impress and attract the heathen around, till they also unite in doing honour to her Lord. The power of missions abroad lies at home: a holy church will be a powerful church.
The daughter - The people of Tyre; as the daughter of Zion or Jerusalem, are put for their inhabitants: he mentions the Tyrians; because they among others, and before many others, were to be converted to Christ, but they are here put for all the Gentiles, whom that city fitly represents, as being the mart of the nations.
When the Gentiles, being converted to the faith of Christ, join themselves to the church, they then come with a gift, 2 Cor. viii. When with themselves they devote all they have to the honour of Christ, and the service of his kingdom, they then come with a gift.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
